Every Saturday the politicised hippies, yippees, (see OZ 11) meet at the Free School (alias Free University) on East 14th Street. That afternoon they were preparing for the mass Yip Out— 'Resurrection of Free'—to be held in Central Park next day. Balloons, posters, flowers, records, fun and magic. We were all asked to bringa can of food `to build a mountain of it for Dr King'spoor people'. Rock groups were coming.Amplified sound is illegal in New York parks,butyippees warned City Hall that, in the wake ofKing's assasination, they had better cool it.Light aeroplanes were booked to drop flowers on the crowds. One yippee reported theresults of hisfree flower fall experiments.

Hehad droppedchrysanthemums, daisies and daffodilsfroma high building to compare their endurance capacity. I was handed a yippee conscriptform: '1 CAN STEAL FOR YIPPEE Mimeo paper--Money--records— —dope-flowers--space--'. Paul Krassner, editor of the wild', original, personal, Realist, was there, exerting sanity.

Once Krassnerwas interviewed by Joe Pine, a neurotic,right wing telly celebrity who, like our Ken Allsop,has a wooden leg. Pine asked

Krassner whether he ever felt embarrassed about datinggirlsbecause of his scarred face. Replied Krassner:Are you embarrassed when you unstrapyourwooden leg to fuck your wife?. The videotapewasnever screened.

Thousandsof peoplearrivedat the park next day togiveand receive free posters and records, score acid, hash, STP and Morning Glory seeds.

Groups rocked, one couple loved under a blanket, a largebrownbeautifulgirlsuckled ababy, men in purplesweat shirts and yippee badges carried collection boxeschanting: 'gethip,give toyip'.Planes droppedflowers,which blew intothesurroundingtrees and the copswere benign. sowts.47

Separate development (sometimes known as apartheid) was the answer, he argued TheBlacks wanted it, the whites would welcome it, it solved the problem of Britain's ghettoes. It was both sane and humane. He was amazed when most of his editorial staff then offered their resignations. Being a man of principle, he promptly altered his editorial. His staff withdrew their notice. His paper's attitude on race was then bravely exposed for what it was: the unhappy product of insecure men, uncertain of anything.

COLUMBIA has certainty produced a different campaign book for " In Cold Blood." This was done because the company feels the picture demands very careful thought from managers and a really sensibly conceived and executed campaign. The conventional approaches and conventional printing were therefore thrown overboard.

Local press--tell them aoout it as far in advance of your playdate as possible," Columbia suggests. And then sendperiodic reminders, and possibly copies of the Penguin book. Editors, music critics, women's page writes, should all have a special interest, because of the film's content.

At the theatre in advance of playdate Columbia believe a personal letter onnoral letter paper, and personally signed, and displayed on the newsboard. orblown up and displayed in a glazed frame on a prominently sited easel, would provide the necessary personal approach to patrons (And ere's a suggested text too.)

Nearer playdate, cut-out film reviews from local and national papers could be added to letter, and so make a special display panel Another advance theatre activity could be talk to the audience from the stage—not a long speech. but a sincere word of recomendation. Again the text is provided.

Carefully non-organised as an unstructured event, it looked like a shambles, spoke with the gift of tongues (all at once) and by Sunday night, seemed something of a success.

Friday evening, as the lady form the Guardian pointed out, (with greater kindness than perhaps was deserved) started out with something of a false start. About 150 people turned up at the Anti-U. In the confined space at 49 Rivington St, things took on something of the crowd quality of St Peter's Square on Easter Sunday. (Elias Canetti would have been ecstatic).

So we lit out of the local church hall, On the way, Policeman G 253. (I think, he was very tall) accosted a gorup walking over and demanded to know why Hackney police had not been informed of the 'march', A polite reply that the 'march' was only peaceable citizens walking round the corner to church was answered with a string of remarks indicating the Constable's extreme distaste t,1 communal livers. After we had crossed the street, someone whispered 'Blue Fascist', loudly and honour was satisfied.

(For a fee) the local parson was very interested in accommodating communalliving.

The only hang up was, did we mind the conereters. Some parishioners wererepairing the stairs to the choir loft, theywould need to fill their buckets at the tap inthe hall just behind the speakers, and theywould. of course. be unable to wheel theirbarrows any other way but through thecrowd.

FADING FREEDOMS/LATE IPP E ICH HOP THE STORY SO Sections 1-4 of this non-linear political mosaic appeared in OZ No 11. Section 1 suggested that freedom is meaningless unless defined in terms of power, and compared the Socialists' and the Conservatives' claims to being the party of freedom; suggesting that, on balance, the party of planning left more people freer than that of free enterprise for top people. Section 2 thought that anarchists were usually too sentimental in assum-

ing that it's natural, egalitarian and comradely; they ought also to allow for right-wing (competitive) and 'black' (sadistic) anarchism. And the internal contraints needed for anarchy needn't necessarily by less tyrannical than our external ones. Section 3 looked enviously at another aspect of right-wing anar chism: the para-hippie irresponsibility enjoyed anyway by our upper classes, and its grim consequences for the rest

of us, astop people team up with Amencan and European finance and say 'Up the Union Jack, I'm all right' to middle and lower-class Britain. Section 4 wond ered how the hippie pitch would be queered by Britain's decline and, if not fall, then stagnation or only slow rise, and concluded that the best situation would be avery slow rise with absolutely no Dunkirk spirit.

Yet its as pervasively around us as the air IAu breathe.

In theory, at least, Fascism could evolve into just what Hitler called it, 'National Socialism'. In fact it loses Communism's traditional drawback, itsallegiance to the working classes of the world, who are either too vague, or wogs, or Moscow spies.

And v,hen Russian Bolshevism s massive bureaucratic apparatus, instead of withering away, turned into Stalinism, National Sop. al ism was,perhaps, just what it was, only with the bureaucrats playing the capitalists as well as themselves, But Stalin and de Gaulle remembered what Napoleon and the Marxists ignored, a nation is, economically as well as culturally, a class; ade,ittedly, thatc,ri,,s crossesothers, but a class all the same.

Parliamentary action would run into the same trouble, in another form (the Labour government would end, like Wilson, frantically running the capitalist machine). Mosley reckoned that nerve was needed, and ieadiness to turn patriotism, hysteria, compulsion, anything, against the establishment machine. Unfortunately for himself, Mosley made the odd mistake of imagining that the workers wouldn't fear Fascism more than they feared Conservatism. His movement brought in the lower middle class elements whose chief bugaboo was Communism (and similarly in Germany, Nazism wasstrongest among the middle classes, weakest among the working classes). Even Mosley's jingo plank failed; his similarities with Nazism gave him the image of a Nazi spy. His anti-Semitism was infinitely more revolting, and less plausible, than the prevalent form of colour-prejudice today To the three preconditions of Fascism proper (industrial rhythms, hierarchy, nationalism), we can add a fourth a sense of crisis The best brooding ground for Fascism is one lit which one group can reasonably hope to keep power over other groups,

NT FASCISM &

A Paranoid Guide

by Raymond Durgnat

It also seems that there's such a thing as democratic Fascism;a prosperousmajority permanently, and violently, oppressing a wretched minority. The American neoro is such a minority. (It's ironic that Nazi propaganda against America wasn't quite as distorted as it then seemed), But the most popular form of Fascism is that which consists of exporting one's proletariat.

One lets one's workers at home into some sort of prosperity; it profits, with one's bourgeoisie, at the expense of the coloured proletariat of the third world. In popular language, this becomes 'bash the wogs, and those portions of the English work ingclass which rise above the level of such responses tend to become somewhat resigned to the possibility of such responses and tend to adopt the callous, or a philosophical, that is to say, an actively or passively Fascist, attitude, towards the exploitation of the ex-colonial world.

What makes it all more difficult is that this Fascism is the keystone of our prosperity, of our liberalism, of our freedom, that to attack it is not only treacherous to many of our friends (only idealists won't mind that) but masochistic, unless one can locate oneself in thosecurious God'sâ&#x20AC;˘eye-views from which intellectuals love to look down on mere mortals. Only this is certain; you can't put the third world, and the British working-man, first, and the Labour movement is due for much more trouble asthis problemlooms.For'third world' read the Jews, and you can easily solve the mystery of how so many good Germans couldlivealongside the concentration camps,

A Conservative Revolution?

The Conservativesare right to see a powerful bureaucracy as a potentially Fascist class. As Ernest Mandel remarked, the Russianrevolution set up aparty bureaucracy, which, as Tory commonsense, and Marx's own basic principles, might have warnedit, would put its own interests first. But everyone can see the danger and the Conservatives only obscured it by the obviousnessof their motivations, as well as by that endless and inane Conservative attempt to link Socialism and tyranny, whichgoes back to the forging of the Zinoviev letter in the '20s, through Churchill's utterly serious allegation that the 1945Attlee administration would put Harold Laski in charge of its Gestapo, and goes on every day in the Daily Telegraph's Peter Simple.

As subsequent elements have made clear, the creeping extension of control is as irreversible as inflation. There is a Parkinson's law of loss of liberty. A Labour government introduced peacetime conscription for the first time in English history, a Conservative government continued it. For nearly 20 years now, 'they' have been requiring university authorities to inform them which students belong to far left political clubs—just for reference, of course, A study of changing police attitudes would reveal the gradual, but steady increase in the docility it expects from the public. Since 1945, they were encouraged in this by the public's satisfaction with affluence, with tradition, with all things moral and British.

Now that the political consensus—or stalemate—is shifting, this happy relationship is shifting too. The unarmed London police beat down mass demonstrations throughout the '30s, and are traditionally paranoiac about anything that involves street crowds. Now middle-class people are coming down into the street, people who are less hopeless, and better equipped to complain in the press, about police attitudes, a new line of friction is opening.

Of course, individual waves roll back, even as the tide moves in. We've already gained on some roundabouts (general sexual permissiveness) what we've lost on some swings. Its even arguable that our increased consciousness of bureaucratization results largely from a gain in insight. We know, now, who conditions us, how, why, and how unfree we are, within as well as without.

For Acts of God, read Acts of Parliament. However niggling bureaucracy is, the Means Test isn't back—yet. And even in the '30s, Orwell saw the life of the British 'little man' as ruled by nothing else than stark, simple fear. To compare Coming Up For Air to 1984 leaves little doubt that Orwell was drawing on the moods of 1934. We're obviously all freer now than the victims of the Depression's callous chaos.

One would expect a Labour bureaucracy to be preferable to a Conservative one, simply because the party's social centre of gravity is lower. If Labour make aggravatingly timid advances in social reform (abortion, homosexuality, divorce;, etc), the Conservatives make no advances whatsoever where money isn't involved, and in such cases they always defer to traditions, those which limit freedom, included. Of course, they would curb the closed shop, out of the purest love of Olde English Liberty. The choice is between a bureaucracy which occasionally bares toothless gums at big business, and one which is willing to act as the agent of big business, in polishing off thecumbersome dinosaur with which the working-class defends itself. There is also, of course, a conservative bureaucracy- including J.Ps, lawyers, and other traditionalist groups. In comparison with the other bureaucracy, it hardly shines for its reasonableness, its concern with the individual, or its freedom gray red tape.

The present threat to freedom comes from a popular quarter, As Britain hits hard times, as freeze, squeeze and cut stalk the land and the old consensus breaks up, politics repolarise. Certain overtones in the I'm Backing Britain campaign are a straw in the wind. My friendly radio dealer said, with an air of finality, 'It's not actually a British model, of course'. (He seemed to think the Philips was). A millionaire gets at the children: 'Little girl, get rickets for Britain.' The government is helpless in the face of a thousand little rises in price (but can cut down on school milk). The Race Relations Act proves all but useless against white prejudice, but is immediately evoked against Michael X, and Roy Sawh , As for loveable, fallible George Brown, his remarks about the Omsbudman remind us just how much he resents the lightest pinprick from a character who is virtually castrated by his brief. As for Smiling Jim Callaghan, who previously represented police interests in parliament, bids fair to be the Home Secretary in the Henry Brooke tradition.

On the Conservative side, developments are even more alarming, The, supposedly pairiotic party is as ready to encourage the Rhodesian rebels now as it was ready to scheme with the Ulster mutineers in 1914. The Enoch Powell-Duncan Sandys axis is more confident, more interesting, than ever before. Conservative rhetoric about Britain's economic crisis comes down to, 'My workers should tighten their belts out of patriotism while I get my expense account lunches back to give me more incentive.' A handful of silly secretaries work an extra half an hour for their bosses, while business sticks 'I'm backing Britain' stickers on everything from its Japanese ballpens to its Volksvagen The dishonesty was so flagrant it backfired, superbly; everything the camp Union Jack brigade had done in jest was done in earnest.

As gutless as ever, Labour starts trussing up the unions, to such an extent that it might be better off in opposition, resisting the Conservative campaign which is bound to follow. Tough, dynamic, enterprising Mr Wilson blames the gnomes of Zurich, because he knows as well as we do that a great many of those gnomes had English names and addresses, but he doesn't like to say so, because there'd then be more gnomes of Zurich than ever.

Of course they're not being unpatriotic, but they hav'e to protect their investments, and, in the long run, what s good fot them is good for Britain.

How numerous and short are the paths from 1968 to 1984 might be indicated by a (frankly artificial) scenario, one of many possible ones. Crisis worsens. Labour government in head on shock with unions, Labour movement splits, Wilson resigns, general elections, thumping Conservative majority. Showdown with unions; general strike. Middle classes patriotically silly and break strike. New policies decided on to distract attention from austerity. Conservatives adapt Liberal co-ownership schemes,

john Fivricra

with owners to retain 51% interest. Combination of depression and workers competing against others improves labour disciplines no end. Since the workers are in a minority against an owners/bureaucracy/middle-class united front, and that stied to the gnomes of Zurich, who isworking for whom? General discontent, and government institutes one-year national labour service to soak up unemployment among young, especially coloured. Informal employers' organisations hire Tracers Ltd to keep photographic record of labour agitators. And so it goes. There'd be no need to legislate against freedom of speech, provided only that the middle classes could be kept frightened of, and uninterested in, the lower classes. It's at this point that the scheme shows its artificiality; the middle classes are just as frigntened of the upper classes. And how right they are.

Snarling Through

Since 1951 the English right has been relatively reasonable.Three major lessons inspired this policy. The first was the 19thcentury upper-class realisation that it couldn't hold the country down by force if the middle and lower classes combined against it, The same logic underlay England's attitude to empire. No colony was intresting if the cost of tyranny exceeded the returns in trade; to hold India down in 1945 would have ruined Britain. Giving the Empire away, though it chagrined Churchill, was financially painless; the red left the map, but the trade links remained. The third lesson, taught by Keynes, proved by Schacht, and imposed on the Conservatives by the Attlee government, was that working-class affluence helps trade by increasing its spending-power and broadening the home market. The welfare state and the u lions rankled with Conservative suburbia, and the middle class little man who had lost his status vis-a-vis the better-off workers; but big business didn't mind in the least, and big business called the Conservative tune. Not via the rank - and-file,.so much as via the Conservative leaders— always, so mystifyingly, to the left of Peter Simple's leaders. For years they, loyal to a man, never murmured against their leaders, simply seething at (a) the trade unions and (b) a curious abstraction called 'the state' or 'bureaucracy'. This curiously omitted the Conservative ministers who headed and extended it and the public-school network which determined its policies.

Eventually two things sharpened intra-Conservative strife. But suddenly they found itself with a middle-class leader; he lacked that magic authority, grumblings began. And the country ran in omit trouble for which it had been heading since the 19th century.

Is the Muse of Satire the Midwife of Corruption?

Bureaucracy is the big bad wolf. Every fashionable body is anarchist. Swinging Britain is go-ahead Britain. In me undefined way there's no contradiction between affording Carnaby St prices and quadrupling every old age pension. E ry lord's son attern-cutter feels quite fond of Mao, because he"s so refreshingly different ftorn Sir Alec Douglas Home. Every Carriady thrills to the saga of Fidel and Che, as do those flower-power pacifists whose principles forbid them to iclijas man fly under their finger-nail. Rightwing or leftwing, what does it matter, the enemy is the consensus which the variou tablishments have created between them.

The ambiguity of all this detachment may be expressed in terms of Private Eye. The paper itself inherits a cu us, and likeable alloy of attitudes: the: indignation of the nonconformist conscience; the lordly cynicism and contempt of ristocratic identification, especially at- the expense of Mrs Wilson; upper-middle-class snobbery at the expense of the ic:1100<filiddle-class (Mrs Wilson again); intellettual-fashionable snobbery at the expense of the middle and upper class; the rage of a generation fed on futile myths by its fathers; in brief, it exploits every possible contradiction between every kind of idealism and every kind of reality.

The most disquieting aspect ofthis largely admirable (and valuably informative) paper isone of its readership groups, namely, the advertising agency S-men who need to pulla fortnightly face at the thin smears left on their tastebuds Fly ratrace brownnosing. They think pulling aface spiritually disengages them from the system; P.E. is their raspberry-rosatY. And simultaneously satire proves that everythingis only a racket and that they can pursue their own racket with a clear conscience. It purges one's self-hatred ano anestnetises one's conscience: The detachment of middle class youth from the vindictive complacency of traditional Conservatism isn't worthless, and in the present climate of opinion, this anarcho-nihilist right is undoubtably preferable, first because though itsrn9re cynical it's less self-righteous, second, be ause it s less anti-Communist and therefore less anti- Third-World, third, because i II briefly fellow-travel with the left on account of its own frustrations, fourth, because its more respectful than i knows liberalism and more-sentimental than it knows about certain facts of life which theleft doesn't want to know,thak you* ry much, which the right,being confustonistic, can't articulate, and which only get mentioned clearly by such grelit-ind isolated cynics an rather than as Maccniaveili, Hobbes and a few of the other great unread (or unwasped), and fifthataecausejes fiber r authoritarian,

What actually has happened in Britain?

A couple of politicians have exploited the race question? Some crowds have
